Rank Attainment

NPCC cadets go through 4 years of learning, in domains such as basics of policing and law enforcement, adventure training as well as character building.

​

They advance in ranks as their skill proficiency increases, enabling them to lead and guide junior cadets to hone their skillsets too.

​

At the end of their 4 years as a NPCC cadet, they would have learnt from the leadership opportunities they have taken up, and some of them who wish to continue contributing to the Corps, may also volunteer as a Cadet Inspector to continue their NPCC journey.
